Domaine des Ronces | Orbagna

Certified Organic & Biodynamic

Domaine des Ronces is run by 3rd generation vigneron, Kevin Mazier, in the commune of Orbagna.  Orbagna is located in the Sud Revermont, and is one of the southernmost villages in the Côtes du Jura. Kevin’s grandfather, Georges, founded the domaine in 1950 and focused on growing Chardonnay and a small amount of Savagnin. By 2010, Michel (Kevin’s father) had grown the domaine to 6ha — adding Poulsard, Trousseau and Pinot. Michel also began transitioning to organic farming; a few years later, he and his son, Kevin, began incorporating biodynamic practices as well. Kevin trained in Beaune and Australia before taking over from his father in 2016. (read more)
